Hush vs Fire Notes

Most focus apps are built for people who already know how to focus. Hush is built for everyone else. If you're easily distracted, struggle to decide what to work on first, or find yourself starting tasks and never finishing them, Hush is designed around how your brain actually works. Short, structured focus sessions. Clear priorities. No room for the apps and notifications that pull you off track. - Plan your work Add tasks and rate them by urgency and importance so you always know what to tackle first. Drag them onto your calendar to build a plan you'll actually stick to. Your Apple Calendar syncs automatically so everything stays in one place. - Focus without distraction Create custom Pomodoro timers with your preferred focus length, break length, and number of sessions. Start a session, select a task, and let Hush handle the rest. With Hush Premium, block distracting apps the moment your session begins, even if you switch away from the app. - Track your progress See how many minutes you focused today, build daily streaks, and visualise your consistency over 90 days. Premium insights show you your patterns over time so you can understand when and how you focus best. - Hush Premium Unlock app blocking, unlimited timer presets, custom bell sounds, premium insights, and home screen widgets. Hush is fast, clean, and built to stay out of your way. Set a timer, focus, take a break, and repeat. Terms of use: https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/

Fire Notes is a private notebook for writing, scanning paper, and dictating by voice - with one unusual feature: you can burn a note. Real fire, rendered live on your screen - the paper catches, curls, chars and falls away as ash. When the flame goes out, the note is gone. It's oddly satisfying. It's also the point. WRITE ANYTHING • A fast, beautiful editor with rich text, checklists, headings and highlights • Choose your paper and your handwriting — from clean type to a looping script • Photos, shelves and pinned notes on a board you can rearrange by hand • Everything stays searchable, right up until you let it go LET IT GO • Burn a note in a moment, or hold for the full cinematic ceremony • Blow on the microphone to light the flame — yes, really • Burn-after timers: write something tonight, let it release itself tomorrow • Every burn leaves an ember in Ashes — proof something was released, without the words SCAN YOUR PAPER • Point the camera at a receipt, bill or letter — Fire Notes finds the edges, straightens the page and files it • Every scan is read on your device, so the words inside are searchable. Find a receipt by what it says, not by what you named it • Scans live in their own shelves — Receipts, Bills, Documents — separate from your notes • And when a document has done its job, shred it. The same fire, for paper you're finished with PRIVATE BY DESIGN • Your notes and your scans live on your device and in your own iCloud, never on our servers • Face ID app lock, plus a separate lock for the notes that matter most • No account. No tracking. No ads. ALSO IN THE BOX • Dictate a note out loud with on-device speech recognition • On-device AI to fix, rewrite or reshape what you wrote — nothing is sent away • Export a note as text or PDF when you decide to keep it after all FIRE NOTES+ A one-time purchase. No subscription, ever. It unlocks the document scanner, voice dictation, the AI writing tools and clean, watermark-free exports. Buy it once and it's yours, on every device you sign in with. The notebook itself stays free. Write as much as you like. Burn as much as you like. Write it down. Let it go.
